FOREWORD. 

It is only in rare instances that numismatists have an opportunity 
to draw upon such a rich and valuable collection as that of the late 
James B. Wilson, Esquire. This collection is undoubtedly one of the 
finest in the country to-day and represents many years work. Mr. Wil- 
son was a collector of keen discrimination and judgment and with the 
means and facilities at hand to gratify his appreciation. 

Not only did he collect American coins, but he appreciated choice 
foreign pieces as well. His interest in things Oriental led him to gather 
together some choice examples from the Oriental countries. In the 
American collection particular stress should be laid upon many pieces 
which on account of their great rarity and numismatic interest stand 
apart and above all the others. These include the uncirculated 1802 
Half Dime, the finest known specimen; the Proof 1838 O. Half Dol- 
lar, also the finest known specimen; the Proof 1827 Quarter Dollar; 
the $5 Bechtler, the "150 Gr. Rutherford County" variety; the $2.50 
Templeton Reid; the round $50 Wass Moliter "Slug," and the un- 
circulated Cents of 1793 and 1804. 

Mention should also be made of choice early eagles, half eagles and 
quarter eagles, and of the rare and choice gold proof sets running from 
1 863 almost to date. 

The private gold collection is one of the best that has ever been of- 
fered. The prize $5 Bechtler specimen above referred to has not been 
offered for a great many years and this is probably the identical speci- 
men that was last sold. Mr. Brand, of Chicago, has one of these in 
his splendid Bechtler collection, besides which there are certainly not 
over three known. The $2.50 Templeton Reid is another piece seldom 
offered. 

Three magnificent slugs, each of high rarity — the round Wass 
Moliter $50 practically uncirculated, will be appreciated by those who 
are familiar with the private gold issues. Then there are choice Mor- 
mon, Oregon Exchange Co., Moffat, Clark, Gruber & Co., U. S. 
Assay and other issues in large variety. In gold a small but choice 
lot of foreign and Oriental pieces are included. 



In the dollars are splendid examples of 1 794, 1 836, (including the 
"Gobrecht in field" variety), 1838, 1839 (2), 1851, 1858 (2). 
Besides these are included numerous examples of the early and later 
dates in perfect condition. 

There are many half dollars, including many mint-marks, in superb 
preservation, with two very fine 1 797s and an uncirculated 1815. The 
quarter dollars run uniformly choice from the early to the later dates. 

The collection of dimes is also noteworthy and contains some remark- 
ably fine specimens of 1797, 1798, 1800, 1803 and 1804. It will 
not be too much to say that in the collection of half dimes are some of 
the finest specimens ever offered. Uncirculated specimens are offered 
of 1794, 1795, 1796, 1797, 1800, 1802, 1803 and 1805, several 
in duplicate. 

The minor coins are complete in like perfect condition. 

The collection of patterns, small, but choice, contains very rare 
"Commercial dollars" and two splendid glittering proof $4 pieces, or 
"Stellas." 

Too much cannot be said of the collection of United States cents, 
because a finer lot has never been offered at auction. The best 1 793 
cannot be excelled; it is perfect. In 1 794s there are several uncir- 
culated, and probably a dozen that are fine to very fine, several of 
them rare. Mr. Wilson could well be proud of his 1 795 s because he 
possessed two varieties of the thick planchet type, and two varieties 
of the thin planchet type; all four pieces are of a light olive color, and 
all are uncirculated. Choice 1796s, 1797s, 1798s, 1800s, 1801s, 
1802s, 1803s, 1805s, 1807s, there are in profusion. The 1799s 
should not be passed over lightly, the 1 799 over 1 798 specimen being 
especially interesting, as it is about uncirculated; the perfect date variety 
is a very fine one also. The superb uncirculated perfect die 1804 
cent will be one of the sensations of the sale. Some have pronounced 
the 1 806 the "best," and a record price for this date may be expected. 
A number of 1 808s include a particularly choice example of a light color 
which should bring a high figure. The 1 809 and 1811s are gems 
of high order. Connoisseurs will be interested in the fine proofs of 
1821, 1822 and 1832. The 1824 perfect date, sharp and uncir- 
culated, is valuable and very rare. All the intervening dates not men- 
tioned above to 1 85 7 are uncirculated. 



The examples cited are suggestive and more or less typical of the 
entire collection which abounds with rare and interesting specimens. 
The collection, as a whole, is unquestionably one of the highest in 
quality which has been offered in many years. It is not too much to 
regard it as a monument to the zeal and discrimination of its late owner 
who was in truth one of our most successful and patient collectors.

32 East 23rd Street, New York City.

15c on foreign silver coins worth several times over as bullion. Write 
your bids plainly, with a pen if practicable. I have taken special pains 
to carefully and fairly describe each lot.

scription, there is but one piece in the lot.

The finest specimen known of this great rarity, which 

has not been offered in any of the recent sales. Was 

purchased by Mr. Wilson, in Oct., 1884, at a high 

cost. Excessively rare. 

So far as can be learned, the last time a specimen of this rare 

piece was offered for sale was in 1882, when the R. C. Davis 

collection was sold, and this probably is the identical piece. 

There are probably only four specimens known, hence the 

piece is the second rarest half dollar, ranking next to the 

noted one of 1853, without rays or arrows. Excessively rare.

THE 1802 HALF DIME. 

784 1802. Strong well centered and even impression. Uncir- 

culated. The piece has considerable of its original 
lustre, and is the finest specimen of this great numis- 
matic prize in existence. None of the specimens 
which have been offered at auction approaches it in 
condition. Only sixteen specimens known, and only 
offered once in a decade. Mr. Wilson paid a very 
high price for it in a Woodward sale on Oct. 14, 1884.

gether than last, and top of six is curved more to right.
